Amongst divers, Socorro is known as the "Mexican Galapagos".

There are reports about 7 different kinds of sharks - during one single dive... Are you interested? If yes, book your scuba safari cruise now.
There are regular sightings of manta rays around Socorro - HUGE species, up to 7 meters.. AND sometimes there are formations of 10 or more elegant manta rays to be found here !
The mantas love to play with the divers - and sometimes stay around during the whole dive. They seem to enjoy these encounters with the "bubble fish" - just as the divers enjoy to visit these elegant flyers in the ocean.
The professional underwater photographers know the very best dive destination for terrific manta ray shots: the Socorro Islands! Crystal dark blue waters with vast visibilities of 40 meters plus are common - and the manta rays seem to be posing for the best photo.
Dophins are around, too - and between February and Mid of April, whales visit the Socorro Islands to give birth to their next generation. During the last years, these encounters have become even more common.
Huge tunas and sometimes Wahoos and whale sharks - around Socorro all these exciting and pelargic species are found regularly - and this makes Socorro one of the TOP TEN in the worlds dive destinations - for sure!
Between Mid June and November it is time to go diving in the "SEA of CORT$Z" - which is located north of Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.
An absolute underwater paradise, home of more than 850 different species of fish - and visibility up to 40 meters are common during this time of year.
You might even be seeing huge jacks, tunas, wahoos, marlins, whale sharks and hammerheads, orcas, whales and dolphins and even sea lions play around you - to name them...
In this time of the year, the ocean is usually quite calm and the distance between the dive sites are reasonable.
